New Jersey Symphony Orchestra, Daniil Trifonov at New Jersey Performing Arts Center

About

Fresh off of a riveting NJSO Concert Film performance, Artist-in-Residence Daniil Trifonov returns for Brahms' First. Only a powerhouse pianist and conductor in perfect sync can make this thrilling climb. Jessie Montgomery's sizzling Starburst leads things off before Xian Zhang brings a fresh take to a beloved Czech masterwork, Smetana's Má vlast, tapping the warm strings and beautifully rounded brass threaded into the Symphony's DNA by former music director Zdenek Macal.
